Hi,

The compilation of this code fails with a "lambda expression not expected
here" error:

int i = (f -> f + 1).applyAsInt(1);

I am not sure to understand why this code is invalid as the following code
compiles fine:

int i = ((IntUnaryOperator)(f -> f + 1)).applyAsInt(1);

If it is because the compiler cannot infer the type, then perhaps the error
text could be improved.

Thanks.
